Police in New Zealand have shared a video of hedgehog which was stuck with a yoghurt pottle on his head, found by officers "looking very drunk and walking into things" at the weekend.

The hapless creature was wandering around with a yoghurt pot wedged firmly on its head, in Arrowtown on New Zealand's south island.

Posting the clip on Facebook, officers wrote: "After a brief foot pursuit the subject was cornered and the yoghurt pot removed. Crime prevention advice provided about going through other people's rubbish. Lived to fight another day.

In 2015 the Telegraph reported on a police officer in Yorkshire who rescued a hedgehog after spotting it stranded in the middle of a busy main road.
